CLOSED SESSION REPORT
Assistant City Attorney Albert Maldonado announced that there were two items to report on. He would report on the first and defer to the Mayor to report on the second. Assistant City Attorney Maldonado reported that the City Council unanimously voted to approve the total proposed settlement of $4,875,000 for items A(i) and B(i), noting that both claims are associated.

Mayor Tran read the following statement on behalf of herself and the City Council for item B(ii) denying the claim for Treasure Ortiz:
“We do have a city statement related to a denial of council member Ortiz claim GHC000082770. On March 28th, 2025, Council Member Ortiz filed a claim for $2 million against the City of San Bernardino alleging that a former detective in the San Bernardino Police Department conducted an illegal search of her criminal history and then shared that information with her political opponent. In her initial report on the matter to Chief Goodman and in numerous social media posts and recorded videos she stated that she has never been arrested. Following a thorough review of facts and circumstances, surrounded the original report to Mr. Goodman and the claim that she filed in the city, finds the information in the claim to be false and dishonest. The city's review of this matter determined that the California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System also known as CLETS, was lawfully assessed by authorized law enforcement personnel in March of 2020. The city's investigation finds the claim to be frivolous filed in bad faith dishonest in an attempt to swindle the City of San Bernardino out of $2 million. For the reasons uncovered during the investigation into her allegations and the review of this claim the city denies the claim. Ms. Ortiz will have six months to file a lawsuit should she decide to pursue the matter If she does the city is putting her and her attorney on notice that it will seek to recover all attorney fees and cost in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. Furthermore, given that the false claims were filed under the penalty of perjury and it is a crime to make a knowingly false claim against a police officer, the potential criminal conduct associated with a claim is being reviewed. Given that the filing of a $2 million claim by a sitting Council Member is highly unusual and has been a subject of news and social media

Packet Page. 66

Regular Meeting Draft Minutes May 7, 2025
Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino Page 4 reports, the city will release information related to the investigation that was conducted and reviewed in connection with the evaluation of the claim. Mayor Pro-Tem the Council Members and myself all hope that this transparency will bring to light the serious misrepresentations made by Ms. Ortiz. Her conduct as a Council Member must not be above reproach and her reckless allegations must be stopped before they result in real liability to the city. Thank you.”
